Year Timeline

In FY2018, the Community Preservation Committee will make two rounds of funding recommendations to the City Council. The first round will occur in May 2018, followed by a second round in October 2018. All applicants who will seek funding in FY2018 are encouraged to submit a project eligibility determination in January 2018, even if they will wait until the second round to complete their full application. Applicants may also submit a revised application for the second round if they do not receive funding the first round.
